Russia reported 828 coronavirus deaths in past 24 hours, is the highest figure since the start of the pandemic and the second day in a row that the country has recorded a peak in cases due to the spread of the Delta variant, a slow vaccination campaign and the lack of containment measures.

The city of Moscow, epicenter of the pandemic in Russia, has recognized the arrival of a second wave of the Delta variant after that experienced in early summer, with a 24 percent increase in infections and 15 percent in hospitalizations within a week. This Friday, the number of new contaminations exceeded 21,000.

The epidemic has reached the Kremlin, where the president Vladimir Putin, has been in isolation since the start of last week after positive cases of covid-19 were detected in his environment.

Health and distancing measures are poorly respected in the country. Although the chin strap is mandatory, it is rarely used in public spaces. While vaccination is progressing slowly despite the production of several local drugs. Only 28.4 percent of the population completed the immunization schedule.
